I'm not sure whether they remind me more of the Village People or the Full Monty

Not just me thinking Y-M-C-A then!

Very infectious music and dance moves they have. All plastic figures seem to girate with these guys.

Cheers,

It’s the 1830s version of an 18/30 holiday.

 

[papa 695]

Ok got the windows fitted, also the pilots, crew and passengers. Probably never to be seen again once I put the roof on.

 

[Steve-the-Duck]

Aww, you didn't put seats, the saloon bar, and the toilets in!

 

[Valeron]

I do like the touch of seeing the passengers through the windows.

Looking good so far.

 

[Jim R]

A good idea to include the passengers and crew. As Mike says it's a nice touch.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Very nice indeed

 

[flyjoe180]

Nice work Ian. The inflight magazine must be good quality

 

[papa 695]

Well that’s it, I doubt you’ll see the figures again.

It says to fit the wings together before fitting onto the fuselage, but it would be rather difficult to sort the gaps out doing that.

 

[yak face]

Great work Ian , tricky clean up on the joint though with the corrugations , cheers tony

 

[Steve-the-Duck]

Yeah, that wing root is a PIG to deal with

 

[Ian M]

I recall building this as a kid lol.
I somehow think this one will look a lot better.

 

[papa 695]

A little bit more done.

 

[tr1ckey66]

Nice work Ian. I love the figures.
The all metal finish looks the biz and you seem to have coped with the Trickey clean up work really well.
Looking good now and even better once the masks are removed.
Top stuff

[papa 695]

Three different colours of Aluminium on now.

 

[Steve-the-Duck]

Excellent

 

[yak face]

Looking great Ian , cheers tony

 

[papa 695]
